SoundBox presents: The Wilderness Yet

St Mary's Centre · Chester

We're delighted to have The Wilderness Yet returning to play another SoundBox gig this year. Combining the acclaimed talents of folksinger Rosie Hodgson, traditional fiddler Rowan Piggott, and guitarist-flautist Philippe Barnes, they have earned the esteem of their audiences as consummate musicians and singers. They weave an eclectic tapestry of traditional and original songs, a cappella three-part harmonies to luscious instrumental arrangements. From their eponymous debut The Wilderness Yet (2020), through Turn The Year Round (2021), to their most recent studio album, What Holds The World Together (2022), The Wilderness Yet have consistently created genre-breaking music, earning them hundreds of first-class reviews from the global music press, airplay on the BBC and RTÉ, and performances at festivals from Cambridge to Folk by the Oak. With the promise of another album on the way this year, we're looking forward to yet more outstanding music and song from this trio.

SoundBox presents: Brooks Williams

St Mary's Centre · Chester

"One of the most consistently excellent musicians in roots music." American Roots UK "A guitarist in possession of rich vocal powers and a talent for lyrical imagery" (RnR) "His easy, relaxed manner conceals the greatest level of true expertise.” (Fatea) Statesboro, Georgia-born Brooks Williams has been living in Cambridge, England for nearly 20-years. He has around 35 recordings to his name and has done thousands of gigs over the course of his 35-year career. From Cropredy to Glastonbury, Philadelphia to Winnipeg, Costa del Folk to Shrewsbury, there are very few stages Brooks hasn't played. He moves effortlessly between country, blues and folk. SoundBox Chester audiences have seen Brooks perform in collaboration with banjo guru Dan Walsh, and Vera van Heeringen (just two examples of the numerous duo collaborations of his career), and also in a solo capacity. It’s in that role that we welcome him back again this year. His latest album, Brooks' Acoustic, is one you’ll want to listen to again and again!

Solent Concert Orchestra: Court to Carnival

St Andrew's Centre · Southampton

Conducted by Simon Wilkins, the Solent Concert Orchestra presents Court to Carnival, an afternoon of music inspired by dance. From the stately character of Britten’s Five Courtly Dances to the lively rhythms of Cui’s Tarentella in G Minor and Brahms’s Hungarian Dances, the programme moves through a colourful range of styles and moods. The orchestra will also perform Hérold’s spirited Zampa Overture, Debussy’s playful Children’s Corner Suite and selections from Tchaikovsky’s much-loved ballet music. Together, these works bring the elegance of the court, the magic of the ballet and the energy of the dance floor to the concert hall. BRAHMS Hungarian Dances BRITTEN Five Courtly Dances CUI Tarentella in G Minor DEBUSSY Children's Corner Suite HÉROLD Zampa Overture TCHAIKOVSKY Ballet Selections The Solent Concert Orchestra is a group of amateur musicians from the Southampton, Solent and New Forest area. We aim to give enjoyment to our members and audiences with performances of classical to light modern orchestral music, including symphonies and concertos, at least three times a year in the Southern Hampshire area.
